_ Holy crap. I thought you might have been exaggerrating a little bit, but from that angle, it looked pretty blatant. I don't know the rule very well, but as I know it, both of those would have been illegal pitches. _

I saw the same thing! Can't get more blatantly biased than that. It makes our victories ever sweeter.

Seems like I read and heard that the illegal pitch that AB was accused of was not keeping the foot in contact with the rubber until the ball is released. Well I must have gotten it wrong, because the Georgia pitcher, UCLA pitcher, Florida pitcher, TAMU pitcher, Standford pitcher, and the Cal pitcher never kept their foot on the rubber. The UCLA pitcher came the closest but she too was not in contact with the rubber.

I caught some of the other regional games on TV and noticed the same thing. It looks like you could make that call on every single pitch. I hope the Lotiefs can get film on every one of the oppositions pitchers to point that out in any pre-series meetings they have with the officials. Because you know the oppossing coaches are going to make a point of Ashley being "guilty" of it in the regionals and super-regional.

The Georgia Pitcher was almost out of the pitching circle on the release. Interesting fact is her little sister has signed at the flagship and I would suspect they have a similar style. So I guess YG won 't want it emphasized that off the rubber thing.

It's only an illegal pitch if you're pitching for a team that the NCAA heirarchy doesn't want to see among its ELITE 8 in OK City.

Taryn Mohwatt was called for 2 illigal pitches yesterday as well and she is the 2 time defending NC pitcher. An illigal pitch occurs when the foot loses contact with the rubber or the ground. So no crow hopping which AB has a problem with sometimes. It is very very rare that you see that called during international play. You can also get called for an illigal pitch if you stray outside of the 24" zone which is parallel lines running from both sides of the rubber directly towards home plate. If both of your feet are planted outside of the width of the rubber then it is an illegal pitch. That is what Mohwatt got called on.
